23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 23x19 inches (584x482mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The Scapegrace of the Family" takes us back to the Victorian era, specifically to May 15th, 1886. The engraving by Tom Merry captures a satirical scene filled with political commentary and social satire. In this intriguing portrait, we see a full-length depiction of Queen Victoria's family member known as the scapegoat. The male figure stands proudly outdoors, adorned in an Indian turban and African-inspired attire. Holding a rifle in one hand and wearing a distinctive hat, he represents colonial influence during that time. The artist skillfully incorporates elements of humor and irony into this composition. Through clever symbolism, Merry highlights the complexities of Victorian society by juxtaposing different cultures within one image. This serves as both entertainment for viewers and a critique on societal norms. "The Scapegrace of the Family" challenges traditional notions of power dynamics while shedding light on issues such as imperialism and racial stereotypes prevalent during that period. By including figures from various backgrounds alongside British royalty like Queen Victoria herself, it prompts reflection on cultural diversity within colonial contexts. This remarkable piece invites us to delve deeper into history through artistry's lens—a testament to how visual representations can provoke thought-provoking discussions about our pasts.
